    @NDG:  Sorry, I just now saw your question.  Yes, equal parts of vegetable bouillon cubes and chicken should work.  The product I use is also 1 teaspoon makes 1 cup of broth.  Just so you'll recognize it if you see it:  https://www.amazon.com/Knorr-Tomato-Boullion-Chicken-Flavor/dp/B0000GHEEY/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1480878158&sr=8-1&keywords=knorr+chicken+tomato

    Made this today.  Definitely a hit!  Only variation was red kidney beans instead of pinto beans. Thanks for the recipe!

    As a follow up. This chili was awesome.  We had a party where 50 were invited and we were providing most of the food.   We had a big stock pot of this brisket chili and two pots of white chicken chili.  After the party we were scraping the bottom of the brisket chili pot and it looked like only a few people had the chicken chili.  Almost two full pots went back in the fridge. 

    Thanks for the recipe!

    I've never cooked a brisket but this looks so good. If I ever get the nerve to try one, I'm going to make this chili!
    This is the perfect thing to queue up for your first brisket cook - your brisket doesn't have to be good to make chili with - fixes lots of mistakes.  
    Love you bro!

    I made this chili earlier this winter and won a chili cook off at work hands down. It is awesome! I need to smoke another brisket soon! Just a heads up for anyone trying to find the Knorr's tomato bouillon with chicken flavor - it was not with the other bouillons and soup in my grocery store but rather in the Hispanic foods section.

    @EggObsessed - just wanted to say thank you for sharing your recipe and tips. Made this for my crew at work and they were blown away. Lucky I saved a quart for myself at home!

    I will say, my home does not have a lot of Chili fans besides me. 
    Until they tried chili from this recipe.
    Now everyone is on me to cook brisket, and make chili with the leftovers, every week.
    Bottom line, I am appreciative of this formula, it is the best I have ever made, and I will eat this chili, any season, any weather.

    FYI - getting started on this right now and found the powdered tomato boullion on the Mexican food isle of a Kroger grocery store.   Can't wait to use the "so so" choice grade brisky I have from Friday nights cook in this stuff.

    Here's my latest batch of this heaven in a pot! I "accidentally" added an extra pound of brisket so this batch ended up a little thick. Also, I ordered the Pendery's chili powder that the original recipe calls for. Previously, I used whatever I had in the spice rack. The Pendery's provides a much more complex flavor to this chili than your standard chili powder. If you've been on the fence about ordering it, I would highly recommend it.

    @minniemoh:  So glad you took the plunge and ordered the Penderey's.  We tried lots of different chili powder and this one really stood out in the crowd.

    @EggObsessed - I just had another bowl for lunch today. SO GOOD! I simply cannot imagine a chili recipe that beats this. It seems like a lot of chili powder but if you're using the Penderey's the recipe calls for, it so balanced and not overly spicy/hot.

    It's great right out of the pot but it just comes together so nicely after a couple of days in the fridge. If I were making it for a cook-off, I would definitely make it a few days ahead. I know I've said this before but thanks again for sharing this with us!

    Didn't use Penderey's as I decided to make this at the last minute so no time to order and also had to improvise the on the tomato bullion. Added some green pepper from the garden to the veg sauté and some chopped tomatoes from the garden with the other liquids. Smells amazing!

    Made this Chili to go with my Smoked Brisket Sliders at the local "Taste" and won "Best Overall."  I stuck to the recipe pretty close except for substituting tomato soup for V8 (forgot to buy) and I used a standard chili powder (2 different store brands mixed).

    I am in South Carolina so this was something new to many attendees - and they LOVED IT!!! Already had request to prepare for people for upcoming parties.

    Just made it as I saved some of the flat from a brisket cook this last weekend.    Very good!  I can’t seem to ever just stick to a recipe though.  

    I added some ground chuck, couldn’t find the tomato boullion with chicken flavor so just used chicken boullion and added 1 chipotle pepper with some adobo sauce.  Left out the diced tomatoes as my kids don’t like the chunks.  Served with a dollop of sour cream, shredded sharp cheddar, and fresh cilantro.  Will make this again for sure!

    I recently made this for a work chili cook off,  except I used 4 lbs of ground beef instead of brisket.  I cooked at °300 for about 6 hours of total cook time. I also smoked the ground beef on top of the other ingredients then broke it up into pieces and mixed it all together. Out of 7 entries mine got the most votes.

    I used this recipe for our neighborhood chili cook off and took 1st. Added in a Poblano and Serrano but otherwise followed the recipe as is. Good stuff.
